Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Oklahoma Tornado

DjPaulT — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:53:57 +0000

As many of you know I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma which is about 90 miles northeast of of Moore a highly populated suburb of Oklahoma City where a massive tornado struck yesterday afternoon. This storm has caused major damage and loss of life. The tornado carved a path two miles wide and nearly 30 miles long leaving destruction as far as the eye can see. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of my state that are hurting, it is unimagineable what has occured. As we have seen so many times before in other disasters help is greatly needed. One way you can help is by visiting the the Red Cross web site. On that site you can find different ways that you can help and make an impact. My thoughts and prayers are with my fellow Oklahomans.

DjPaulT — Sun, 19 May 2013 15:40:46 +0000

Hi everyone! I am happy to let you know that I was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon. I am now at at home and feeling much better after a week long dose of powerful antibiotics. I am still planning to take a few more days to get my strength back and make sure that I am feeling in top condition before posting. I appreciate so much all of the comments, prayers and well wishes that you all sent to me it made me feel much better. I look forward to being back with you all very soon.

No Post This Week

DjPaulT — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:20:57 +0000

Hi everyone! I just wanted to fill you in on what’s going on. I started feeling sick over the weekend and I went to the ER doctor and they admitted me to the hospital with pneumonia. As far as I know, I’ll be in the hospital for a couple of days. I will more than likely not be posting for the rest of this week so that I can rest. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and understanding.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1978

DISCO FRIDAY!

Judy Cheeks is a female dance music singer born in Miami, Florida in 1954 and is the daughter of gospel singer and preacher Rev. Julius Cheeks. In 1978 she hit #10 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart with her first disco single “Mellow Lovin’,”. The single also peaked at #65 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Mellow Lovin’,” was produced by Anthony Monn (best known for his work with gay icon Amanda Lear) in Giorgio Moroder’s Musicland Studios in Munich.

Cheeks also appears as a backing vocalist on Lear’s 1979 album Never Trust A Pretty Face and on Boney M.’s Ten Thousand Lightyears and Kalimba de Luna – 16 Happy Songs as a member of vocal trio La Mama. In 1986, she worked as a studio musician (providing backing vocals) on Alphaville’s album Afternoons in Utopia.

Judy Cheeks had a career resurgence in the 1990s, when she re-emerged with a string of dance chart hits, including two #1s in 1995, “Respect” and “As Long As You’re Good To Me”, as well as “Reach”, which appeared on the Summer Hitmix ’94 CD released by ZYX Records.
